Help with install

[bigtbone 0]

Okay, so I just downloaded Arma2 Combined Ops on steam. Just to make sure I don't screw anything up, can somebody please give me a step by step walk through on how to DL, install, and run the mod?

1. Install games

2. Run each game once

3. Get the beta patch from here

http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php

Download the very top .zip file (Latest)

4. Run the .exe file within .zip file you just downloaded

5. Go to the Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead directory (for example C:\Program Files (x86)\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead) and right-click -> edit on .cmd file "_runA2CO_beta.cmd". Search for ":run" near the end of the file. Add ";@dayz" without quotes to "-mod=%_ARMA2PATH%;EXPANSION;ca".

6. Download the mod from here

http://dayzmod.com/downloads.php

7. Create a new folder called '@DayZ' here

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead (Might just be Program Files, not Program Files (*86))

8. Within the '@DayZ' folder create another folder called 'Addons'

9. Extract the files from the Dayz Mod (Step 6) into the 'Addons' folder

I believe there should be 16 files (14 + 2 .txt files)

10. Run the '_runA2CO_beta.cmd' file you edited in step 5.

Game loads, DayZ should be mentioned on startup screen over to right hand side.

Hoping i have not missed anything here. Doing this from memory.

Create a shortcut to the '_runA2CO_beta.cmd' on your desktop for easy access

Done

Theirs an easy way to do it that installs the game automatically and gives you a launcher too

Install and play both games once, you only need to get to the menu then you can leave.

Look up on google to download the Six Updater.

Open up the Six Updater app when its installed and scroll down to the mods that start with "D" and find DayZ

Right click DayZ and go down to Updater Actions and click Install or update mods

Once it's done downloading open up the Six Launcher app (came with six updater its in the same folder) And you'll see DayZ with a bunch of servers to join right there to play when you want.

Hope I explained it well
